Video: Kate Upton Teaches Jimmy Fallon the Cat Daddy
In case you hadn't heard of her (or, more likely, seen her), Kate Upton is the rapidly up-and-coming model whose meteoric rise to fame began on YouTube and landed, recently, with the cover of the Sports IllustratedSwimsuit Issue, and even more recently, the cover of GQ.
Upton, 20, is famous for...um...well, let's just say it, her breasts, but also her willingness to dance on a dime, and her cheerful, all-America disposition. In May, she starred in a video by photographer Terry Richardson in which she did the Cat Daddy, and last night on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," she tried to teach the TV host the dance as well.
Fallon looks equal parts utterly distracted by Upton, and utterly humiliated to be asked to dance publicly. Upton is kind of the clear winner moves-wise, but Fallon is a pretty good sport. Here's the video.
